A B00RISH ACT.
How the President Treated the Tender
of a Compliment from Australia.


WASHINGTON, July 21st.-iSpecial. THE Bal
timore AmerfcdH says that some time ago an
artists club of six hundred members at Sydney,
Australia resolved to pay Mrs. Cleveland a very
pretty compliment by sending her an elegant
painting illustrative of Australian scenery. One
OF the members, Robert Pullin was commits
stoned to come to Washington and present Mrs
Cleveland with the painting Mr. Pullin re-
Gently arrived at Washington, and at once ad-
dressed courteous note to the President. ex-
planning the object of his visit and asking MIN
to accept the painting for Mrs. Cleveland. The
artist referred to the warm feeling which his
people felt towards the United States and ex
pressed the hope that the bond of friendship
should ever remain firmly cemented between
the two countries. He waited one entire week
without receiving any recognition whatever
when he finally received a very formal letter
from the President. declining 70 accept the
painting. The tone of the letter was such as
would ordinarily be employed in refusing the
application of some persistent Office seeker Mr.
Pullin was chagrined and addressed second
letter to the President, expressing his mortifca-
tion that an act which was meant to show such
respect and admiration should be so iudiffer-
emily received, stating that his countrymen
could not help feeling the indignity that had
been put upon them. This letter has never been
answered. nor has Mr.. Pullin received any rec
ognition from the White House whatever.

AN OCEAN TEA PARTY.
Exciting Race from the Orient Between
Tea-Laden Ocean Steamers.

Copyright 1887, by The Calf associated Press
New YORK, July 2lst.-ISpecial. Great inter
est has been excited among the tea traders over
the long race from Yokohama, Japan, to New
York, by way of the Suez Canal, between the
steamers Monmouthshire and Glenshiel. The
first steamer left Yokohama on May 3lst with
100000 pounds of Japan tea. The other tol-
lowed on June Sd with ,700, 900 pounds of tea,
the cargoes being the first shipped of the new
seasons crop. After leaving Japan the steamers
crossed to China, where they were to complete
complete their cargoes with China teas, besides
taking some 100000 pounds in addition to
what they already had. On July 18th the Glen
shiel passed out of the Suez Canal at Port Said,
just as the Monmouthshire entered at Suez, thus
making them less than forty hours apart
In July 18th the Monmouthshire was sighted at
Malta, and would be due at Gibraltar on July
Goth, but probably passed in the night and es-
capped without being spoken. The Glenshiel
passed through the straits on July 18th, making
about twenty-four hours difference between the
two ships on their already long sail. The usual
time from Gibraltar TO New York is about fifteen
days, but both steamers will endeavor to make
all possible speed. Itis believed the time will
be considerably lessened, and their arrival is
looked for between the LIST and 5th of August

great amount of work being done on the
northern line, now nearing completion
